Plants Cellulose cell walls Almost all photoautotrophic Nearly all terrestrial 295,000 Species
2
Vascular vs. Non-Vascular Vascular- have internal tissues that conduct water –Xylem- Transports water –Phloem- Transports sugars Non-Vascular- lack these tissues –Ex: Mosses
3
Roots and Shoots Shoots-stems and leaves, absorb energy and CO 2 Roots- underground absorptive structures
6
Plant Sex (Alternation of Generation)

8
Most plants are hermaphrodites, both male and female Seedless plants- ferns, horsetails Seed-bearing plants –Seeds- ‘A baby in a box with a lunch’ –Gymnosperms- open fertilization Conifers and Ginkos –Angiosperms- closed fertilization Flowering plants Making Babies

13
Non-Vascular Plants –Bryophytes- 18,600 species Mosses, liverworts and hornworts The simplest plants Non-vascular All <8 inches tall Many have rhizoids
14
Bryophytes (mosses)
15
Seedless Vascular Plants Whisk Ferns, Lycophytes, Horsetails and Ferns They have true vascular tissue. Most live in wet, humid places and the gametophytes lack vascular tissues.

Seed-Bearing Plants Produce Microspores which give rise to pollen Produce Megaspores, which give rise to the egg cells These adaptations are advantages in cooler, drier climates
20
Conifers Woody trees and shrubs that have cones –Cones- clusters of modified leaves that surround the spore-producing structures Most are evergreen, and a few are deciduous. This group includes the tallest (coast redwoods >100m) and oldest (bristlecone pine 4,725 years old)

23
Angiosperms –The flowering plants –260,000 species –The enlarged ovary where the seed develops is the fruit. –Most coevolved with pollinators –Range in size from duckweed ( 100m) –Two Classes Dicots Monocots
